ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A SeaWorld employee who threatened the park with a shooting rampage like the Virginia Tech massacre was fired, then arrested after warning he would blow up the park as revenge, officials said Thursday.
Gilbert Alexander Garcia admitted to detectives that he told a co-worker, "I am going to do what happened at Virginia Tech here at SeaWorld," and that he idolized the shooter, Seung-Hui Cho, who killed 32 people April 16, according to an Orange County sheriff's report.
He also said the victims "deserved to die because they made the Korean guy feel like a loner," the report said, but he insisted he was joking.
